Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

however--

Boom.

A fireball shot out of Ian's mouth and landed squarely in front of Tiamat's resentment.

The burning ground served as a silent warning, separating the two dragons.

Mei Liuqina was stunned.

Because this is tantamount to declaring war on the other side.

Tell her what "don't come over" means.

"Ian, what do you mean by this?!"

Why did you treat your mother like that?!

Tiamat's resentment emitted a sound like a wail.

That piercing tone seemed capable of tearing through the sky.

"Roar—"

Ian's dragon claw pointed at her.

Then, there was another earth-shaking tremor.

"You're saying you don't want to go back with Mom right now?"

Tiamat's resentment roared.

"Are you kidding me?"

"The Sea of ​​Life is your eternal home!"

"You have to go back there! Stay with your mother forever!"

"forever!"

Although it is not a physical entity, it exists only as a kind of resentment.

The magic that Tiamat was radiating at this moment was enough to shock everyone.

Melyuchina could even feel the ground beneath her feet being corroded by magic at a visible speed.

"Don't be so disobedient!"

Tiamat's resentment turned red.

The air temperature was rising, and even the wind that was blowing was becoming scorching hot.

"Mom will be angry!"

As she said this, Tiamat's resentment surged forth.

"Back to the Sea of ​​Life!"

"That's our home!"

But the next moment, her eyes widened.

Because she realized that she couldn't pull him anymore.

"..."

If she only had a vague concept of Ian's strength before, then now Melyuchina truly realizes what a monster is.

He was actually able to contend with the giant dragon that almost killed him instantly.

"Ian, what do you mean!"

"Do you want Mom to do it?!"

"If that's the case—"

"Mom, you'll have to be polite."

Oops.

Having experienced the opponent's strength firsthand, Meliuchina knew just how terrifying Tiamat was.

Just a moment ago, I was only focused on "finding my son," but now, it's the problem of "my son being disobedient."

"Mom's going to get angry!"

Tiamat let out a roar towards the sky.

But then something unexpected happened.

After roaring like that, Tiamat's figure gradually faded away.

This seemed to be something she herself had not anticipated.

"Ian, my son, what have you done?!"

"Don't even think about leaving me this way!"

I will come back to find you!

boom--

boom--

The remaining black dragon vigorously fanned the wind.

Tiamat's resentment simply vanished.

Along with it, the magical aura also weakened and became fainter.

seem……

Is it because of Ian's appearance that this resentment "expired," which is why it disappeared?

Meiliuqina looked at the long spear that was being protected so well beneath her.

She had a bad feeling.

This thing...

It might not be anything of high quality.

Before Meliuchina could think too much, she felt herself leave the ground once again.

Of course, she didn't fly.

But -

Ian picked her up.

This familiar scene warmed Meiliuqina's heart.

She realized that the dragon wanted to carry her back to Camelot while she was injured.

In this way, you can get treatment.

Really.

She's so considerate, yet she doesn't know how to express herself at all.

This time, I really have to give him a good compliment... right?

Armed with the spear Artoria had entrusted to retrieve, and her own shattered Aroundight, Melyuchina found herself drifting further and further away from the ground.

"Hey!"

"Are you planning to just carry me back like this?!"

"Hey!"

"At least let me sit on your back! I can't fly anymore. If we fall off like this, are you going to take responsibility?!"

"Are you even listening to me, you idiot?"

Melyuchina's reproaches were of no use whatsoever.

Ian can do whatever he wants.

"You guy!"

"One day I'll definitely twist your head off!"

Melyuchina's voice echoed in the starry night as the dragon flew with her to the distant place where Camelot was.

same moment.

Or rather—

Same event.

In the Sea of ​​Life where time and space do not exist, Tiamat, who had been soaking in the bath for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Ian!"

she yelled.

The only response one receives is the echo that exists solely in this absolutely still space.

"Doesn't he want to return to the Sea of ​​Life?"

"impossible!"

"This is his home!"

Tiamat scooped up the waters of the Sea of ​​Life and scattered them into the air.

"The Sea of ​​Life belongs entirely to him."

"How could I not want to go home?"

"Mom, I'll give him everything!"

"correct!"

Tiamat's eyes flashed back to the little vixen who dared to attack her.

"Is it her?"

"Did she corrupt Ian?"

"really!"

"There isn't a single good woman in that place called Britain!"

"Look what you've done to my son!"

"This kind of Britain won't do..."

Tiamat's hands were trembling.

"Although Ian's favorite place must be the Sea of ​​Life."

"But that place also needs to be transformed to suit him."

Gulu gulu——

The sea of ​​life surged.

It was a scene that looked like it was boiling.

A valley somewhere in Britain, on a completely different plane from the Sea of ​​Life.

Looking at the Tree of Emptiness, which was climbing up from the abyss and growing at a rate far exceeding my expectations, I wondered why it had already grown its main body.

A hint of joy appeared in Vortigern's eyes.

"Go and summon those lurking Saxons."

"Our story is about to begin."

78. Melyuchina: What are you licking?!

dawn.

After being carried by Ian the whole way, Melyuchina finally saw the walls of Camelot.

"We've arrived..."
